Well there was this guy named Benedict Arnold... You may also have heard of John Wilkes Booth
No. If you would have said Charles Manson, I could entertain that. But the two you named is not in the conversation. Guarantee you more people under 40 (as you say) are familiar with Capone than Arnold or Booth

These made me laugh.
As a retired editor and life-long cynic, I rather enjoyed numbers 9 and 10. Rather clever.

TIL Al Capone suffered from health issues due to complications from untreated Syphilis
I thought that it was impossible NOT to know this.

You have to be a real moron to not know Capone had syphilis.

When Capone was in Eastern State Prison he swore that his cell was haunted. He said he would constantly hear voices like the walls were talking to him.

The only people who don't know this are the ones in the early stages of syphilitic insanity.

I once represented a guy who had taken a hammer and bludgeoned his family to death on Thanksgiving. He had been convicted, and I just represented him on appeal of the death sentence. Not trying to get him released, just to commute the death sentence.
When it came time for hearings the state gave him his drugs so he appeared lucid. Otherwise, he was off his drugs and he didn't understand that if they executed him today he would still be dead tomorrow. One day he thought he was Hitler. I could visit him two days later and he honestly thought he was Jesus.
He planned to choke me to death one day until a guard intervened. He escaped one day at a hearing and was shot to death by police before he got out of the building. I wasn't heartbroken.
